Lime Cordial
One of the most common items found behind a bar and perhaps in your own kitchen cabinet is ‘Rose’s Lime’. It is a cheap, processed, and synthetic product. But a great Lime Cordial can be an amazing thing to learn to make and is essential in a traditional Gimlet or even many Tropical drinks. This recipe comes from the great mind of Jeffrey Morgenthaler, and if you haven’t read his books or subscribed to his blog, you really should!
